    More D&S Super 5000 help please

    Gentlemen, Thank you for your help. We wrapped up the frayed wire (electrical tape and zip ties - temporary fix) AND adjusted the prox switch even closer to the wheel. We have run about 20 cars thru the bay and still no problem. Louise

    More D&S Super 5000 help please

    Dave and Waxman, The other thing we found yesterday was frayed cable to one of the gantry eyes. We taped it up. Do you think that could have contributed to my problem? Louise

    More D&S Super 5000 help please

    Thank you Dave, yes that is helpful. No one has mentioned the amplifier, so that will be next on our list. We noticed yesterday that on the failing pass at the back of the vehicle, the gantry would hesitate and remain washing the back bumper longer than usual before moving up. Then the next...

    More D&S Super 5000 help please

    Hi Waxman, Today we replaced the cable and it still malfunctions. We have replaced everything now and it faults after one, two or three (maybe more) cars. Thing we noticed today is that on the down pass that causes the fault, the gantry remains down for several seconds longer than on a normal...

    On all wash packages the gantry will wash the front of the car correctly but then when it moves to the back of the vehicle the gantry will not go all the way down in the back (18 inches from the bottom). This happens on all the passes. The number 4 light - rear gantry prox failure appears. We...

    D&S Super 5000 help please

    On each level wash the system sprays soap on just before the dryer begins leaving tons of soap on the vehicle. I have replaced the soap dema, but that did not resolve the problem. Any suggestions? Thank you

    What are the Most rented mini storage units ?

    I think the industry "average" is that 10 x 10's is the most popular size and that the average length of rental is 13 months. However, it depends on your area. Our facility is near a military base and our most popular sizes are 10 x 15 ($133/month) and 10 x 20 ($165/month) all climate...

    Also, check your injectors. Recently I have had a batch where the small O-ring inside gets displaced and let's water flow back into the barrel.

    Sales tax on wax again

    As I recall, they can go back 2 years. With me, they looked heavily at a three month period. Determined the amount of tax per month within that 3 month period that was unpaid and then multiplied it by 24 months. On your first time they do not charge interest or penalty. My adjuster made ALOT...

    Sales tax on wax again

    I just went thru a pretty thorough Florida sales tax audit. Honestly, the agent didn't really understand the business and didn't focus much on the self serve wax issue. I have a meter on my wax and calculate the tax on the number of minutes of wax used. She accepted it with no question. I...

    You may be too stupid to use a car wash

    If you enter the auto bay, jump the rail, blow your tire trying to extricate yourself and then park in front of the ACW blocking the bay for 45 minutes while you change your tire, you may be - well, an insensitive idiot.
